Unpacking the QLogic Adapter

Follow these steps when unpacking the QLogic adapter:

1.When unpacking, ground yourself before removing the QLogic adapter from the anti-static bag.

2.Grasping the QLogic adapter by its face plate, pull the adapter out of the anti-static bag. Handle the adapter only by its edges or the face plate. Do not allow the adapter or any of its components to touch any metal parts.

3.After checking for visual damage, store the adapter and the riser card in their anti-static bags until you are ready to install them.
